Catherine and William Attend Festival of Remembrance as Prince and Princess of Wales

Catherine, known as the Princess of Wales, made a stunning entrance alongside at the Royal Albert Hall for this year's Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance.

The couple joined III and nine other senior members of the Royal Family for the touching and grand event.

Photographers captured the moment they arrived and were warmly greeted.

Catherine looked elegant in a beautiful black self-portrait gown adorned with three poppies on her collar.

She paid homage to the late monarch by accessorizing with the same diamond necklace and earrings worn at the Queen's State Funeral last month.

In contrast, William wore a navy suit paired with a striped red and navy tie, displaying his military medals on his jacket.

This evening marked the first public appearance of senior royals together since the Queen's Funeral in September.

The distinguished guests included , Queen Consort , the Earl and Countess of Wessex, the Princess Royal, and Vice-Admiral Sir Tim Lawrence.

Seated in the front row near the Sovereign and Queen , Catherine and William observed the order of precedence within the royal family.

The Festival of Remembrance served as a tribute to those who have served and sacrificed in conflicts since World War One.

Additionally, it commemorated the 40th anniversary of the Falklands War, where served as a helicopter pilot.

The event also honored II for her 70-year reign as the head of the armed forces and patron of the Royal British Legion.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer were also in attendance, seated adjacent to the royal box.

Actor Luke Evans opened the ceremony with a moving rendition of “I Vow to Thee My Country.”

Catherine and are scheduled to appear again tomorrow at the National Service of Remembrance at the Cenotaph in central London.

While Catherine will watch from a balcony at the nearby Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development office building, William will participate in the wreath-laying ceremony.
